Riding since 1992
Welcome to GEARs. The Greater Eugene Area Riders is a non-profit organization with the mission to promote and encourage bicycle riding for transportation and recreation. We coordinate weekly rides, provide safety and skill education, defend the rights and responsibilities of bike riders, and work to enhance the bicycle culture in Eugene and surrounding area.
Membership in GEARs has its rewards! In addition to all of the rides and advocacy work we do, there are additional benefits. Local bike shops and other businesses are now offering discounts for GEARs members. Go to our Bike Rewards page to see a list of participating business members. Join GEARs Now.

GEARs will be dedicating our board meeting time on Monday, May 11th from 6:00–8:00 PM at Claim 52 as a space for our community to come together in support of David Morris and his family.
We invite anyone who would like to stop by to sign a card or write a note of support for David’s family during this difficult time. Group cards will be available for anyone that would like to share condolences, supportive messages, and memories of David that will be given to his family. Blank personal cards will also be available for anyone who would like to write a more personal message. Please feel free to bring your own sealed card if writing a message in private is more comfortable. We will have a container to collect everything and will work with David’s family to deliver it to them. If you are unable to attend but would like to contribute, please let us know and we can coordinate a time to meet.
Claim 52 has offered to donate $1 from every pint sold that day to be given directly to David’s family.
This gathering is open to everyone in the community. Whether you knew David personally, rode with him, or simply want to support those affected by this loss, I welcome you to join us.
